"Except for the skills and the money," he told Channel 4 Action News' Andrew Stockey at PNC Park on Tuesday night.

Thorn has become a popular fixture around the ballpark during Pirates games due to his Pedro Alvarez-inspired uniform, complete with No. 24 jersey, baseball pants and Pirates cap.

So why dress like the Pirates third baseman in the first place?

"During PirateFest, I got a picture with (Alvarez) and Alex Presley. My mother's boss said, 'Hey, you kind of look like you could be his bigger brother.' So, I decided that year I was going to go out for Halloween and dress like Pedro Alvarez," said Thorn.

Thorn said he was just hoping to get a laugh out of the players when he wore the uniform to a Pirates-Cardinals game last Tuesday, but that all changed when Alvarez hit two home runs, and Thorn was shown celebrating on TV.

"The minute after he hit the second home run. Right after that, I started seeing Twitter blowing up and everybody found out who I was and my name was getting thrown out there," said Thorn. "That night, the late shift on 93.7 ended up having my name out there. It went from nothing to something within a whole hour-and-a-half span."

"You just walk down the street and someone goes, 'Hey, Pedro,' and I'm like, 'I'm not the real Pedro.' And they're like, 'We know, but you're the fake Pedro,' and I'm like, 'OK. I guess that's cool,'" he said.

Thorn said the support he's gotten has been both "awesome" and "humbling," but admits he's still trying to grasp his newfound fame.

But what does the real Pedro think of all of this?

"The first game, he said something to me. I couldn't really make out what he said, but he gave me a ball, so he probably thought it was kind of funny," said Thorn. "I hope he likes it. I don't want him to think it's kind of weird."

Thorn said he only planned to wear the uniform to the ballpark twice, but told Stockey he may have to reconsider those plans.

"If (Alvarez) keeps doing what he's doing, I guess I have to do it. I'm almost kind of obligated to," he said.

A Justice Department civil rights investigation has concluded that the Ferguson Police Department and the city's municipal court engaged in a "pattern and practice" of discrimination against African Americans.
